WASHINGTON. Nov. l6.-Commission
or Sparks this morn ng receiv, d
from the president a letter accepting his
resignation to day. The letter is dated yes
terday, and while declining through cour-
tesy to the president to give it to the
press, the commissions said it was ex-
tremely kind in o n and expressed the
presidents rull appreciation o fhis services
to the country as commissioner of the
general land Office. Il felt like a all "
slave Just released" said the commiss on
er, "and but for the fact that L am indeed
sick | would be in the best of spirits. OF
course" he continued, ''thisls not a
pleasant ending of my administration,
and when L reflect that | have given
nearly three years of almost incessant
hard, brain racking work to the cause
OF the people for but little more than my
board; when | remember that am at least
$4,000 worse off to day than | was on
the day | came to Washington, and when
| review my work of the last three years
and positively know my course has been
a right and honest one. and that my DO
sition in the case at issue is unquestion-
ably correct-why, when | think of all
these things, with the consciousness of
having done my whole duty tearlessly, l
can not help wishing it were otherwise.
Yet | am by no means unhappy. Ineed
rest and | shall remain in Washington
during the coming winter and take it
easy.'

Old Patent Medicine Men.

l was asking an old druggist recently
what had become of the patent medicine
men who advertised their wares SO extern
sively forty years ago. There was old
DR.. Jacob Townsend's sarsaparilla, Nine.
Zodoc Porter's balsam, Brandreth's pills,
and others whom l have forgotten. DR..
Townsend made q mint of money, went
deep into real estate sp~eculations in this
city and was forced into bankruptcy.
Mrs. Porter sold out her business for
500, 900 and made herself comfortable.
The Brandreths live up in Westminster
county and are wealthy. The old time
advertisers of these patent wares made
less of n rush" than their successors,
but managed to ''get there all the same"
The greatest crash in this line came to

Will Tes the Law.

LONDON, Nov. ia meeting of the
Radical clubs and Socialists was held this
evening. II was resolved to hold a meet
ing in Hyde Park Sunday, and to send a
small d%eDutation to Trafalgar sqaare. The
object of the latter move is to secure a
technical case OF assault against the po-
lice, as it is expected the deputation will
be prevented from entering the square
The whole question OF the right of the
public to hold meetings in the square will
then be raised in the courts.
In consequence of the decision of the
Radical federation, the leaders of the I'M
employed have resolved to hold a meeting
in Trafalgar next Sunday afternoon,

Boston, Nov. l6.-Carney is the
champion lightweight pugilist of England
and McAulitfe is the champion of Amer
lea in the class. Both men we're badly
punished when the referee declared the
fight a draw, but they were able to con-
tinue, and would have done so had moi
the excitement been too much for the
spectators and caused them to engage in a
general row.
In the first round McAulife planted a
blow under Carney's chin which sent the
Euglishman to the floor. Up to the end
of the ninth round the battle seemed to
be going all in McAuliffe's favor, and he
fairly rained the blows upon Carney 5
eyes, jaws and ribs, and the Brlton seemed
to have become very angry; but recover
ing himself, he used more cautious tactics.
At this point odds of 2 to ! were offered
on McAulitfe, who had so far shown him
self to BIZ in as prime condition as his an
~tagOnist, notwithstanding his recent i'll
ness. Carney, becoming desperate when
the twelfth round opened, made a savage
rush at McAullfe, who met 1t with a hard
blow on the right eye and followed with a
terrific right-hander on the bridge of
Carney's nose, which caused the blood to
fly. The claim of first blood for McAuliffe
was then allowed.
The betting after this was heavy, and
both men were badly punished. At the
end of the twenty fifth round McAuliffe
appeared somewhat winded, and Carney's
friends claimed the fight, which was not
allowed. From the twenty-ffth to the
torty-second rounds Carney had some
thing the best of it. In the sixty-second
round McAuliffe's left ear was cut open.
The slxty-sixth round was marked by ter.
rife exchanges of blows and both fought
like demons and stood the punishment
like men of iron. In the sixty ninth
round Carney butted McAuliffe in the
breast with his head and forced him to
the floor. McAuliffe's friends became
greatly excited and repeatedly called
foul" many of them breaking into the
ring. Quiet was restored and the fight
went on, but in the next round McAu
life's friends claimed he had been kicked
by his antagonist in the abdomen, and
again they claimed foul. Great excite
ment ensued when the claim was moi
allowed, but the battle went on with the
same frightful smuggling that had 30 far
characterised most Of the struggle.
In the seventy fourth round. after some
some heavy exchanges. the men clinched
and both fell to the floor. with Carney on
top. The friends Of both parties then

When we have ascertained what the

class or type, and we shall also be able to
tell what type of body is best suited for a
given occupation and for residence in n

men SO that we shall nc longer send them

Recent Investigations have shown that
nearly a million pupils are in the public
schools of the southern states; that the
amount of money expended annually for
schools is s11, 545, 900, and that since 1880
the number of public schools has been in
creased from As, 900 to 61,5s3. In face
of these figures the talk concerning litter

New YORK, Noy. l6.-An interview
with a leading member Of the e

he says the late anarchist agitation has
given his organization a great boom. He
says cards for signatures to the platform

three clerks to register them. The main
object of the party is to restrict immigra-
ton by keeping out paupers, anarchists

rushed into the ring, claiming the fight
for either nan and everybody claiming a
foul. When the referee could be heard
he declaeed that as this fight was to a fin-
ish and neither man had been knocked
out, he could not do otherwise than post
pone the fight to some other time.
The unsatisfactory termination of the
fight has b en- the subiect OF discussion.in all
sporting circles to-day, and whI,e reRrelt ng
that a pOsponement was made necessary,
this action of the referee is admitted to
have been the only thing that could pos
sibly have been done under the circum-
stances, and all bets are declared off and
matter remains exactly as though the men
had never met.
Carney was seen in the city this evening
and with the exception of a few scratches
and bruises was apparently unlniured.
He appeared to be In good spirits and
declared he would be willing to finish the
contest to night.
McAuliffe is reported to be quite badly
used up and weak from the effects of the
fight. He is kept for the present in
comfortable quarters outside the city,
where he is receiving medical treatment
There is vet no serious talk as to the time
of continuing the fight.

THE NEW RAILWAY.
The Interested Parties Now Visit
ing Salt Lake.

There arrived in Salt Lake. last
evening, General G. H. Roser and Mr..
Herbert R. Houghton, the former of
of New York, and the latter of San
Francisco. Mr.. Houghton has been
east in the interest of the Salt Lake &
Los Angeles Railway, end Gen. Roser
comes out in the interest of the road as
an expert engineer, who will carefully
examine the proposed route and make
his report to the interested parties in
the east.
Neither of the gentlemen had very
much information for the newspaper
men who met them last evening at the
Cullen. They start out in few days
to look over the route selecteds
and will be absent probably for three
weeks. at the end of which time they
expect to return well supplied with in
formation as to the most practicable
route, and as General Roser said to the
reporters who saw him, with some
thing that will interest you ALL" Mr..
Trumbo, who was present, spoke in
glowing terms of the treatment the pro-
jectors Of the Salt Lake and Los
Angeles had received at the hands
of the p opIe of Los Angeles and
Pasadena. In the matter of right of
way, they have had their choice. In
Los Angeles their depot grounds are
situated in the heart of the city, and
within g quarter of mile of the South
ern Pacific Depot. This was donated by
the cltizens of the last-named place.
At Pasadena, a similar spirit prevails.
and the residents of that thriving place
have decided that they must have the
road at all hazards. With the incom-
ing of the Salt Lake & Los Angeles they
see an opening for the disposal of hun
dreds Of tons of fruit, etc., that cannot
now find its way to the eastern market
because of the distance to be travelled.
The new road will shorten the time re-
CURED to transport California products
will permit of shipment, and from this
source alone the enterprising Californi-
ans see millions in prospec.ive-and all
from fruit that now rots on their hands.
The gentlemen said the road would
doubtless be of as much benefit 10
Utah as TO California. 81 know"
said one of them, ''of eastern capitalists
who will come in here and put up
smelling works equal to any in the
west, Immediately upon being assured
that the road will prove to be success;
that it will be enabled to supply the
demands that will be made for ores. :"
We hope it will not be said that Salt
Lake will fall behind her sister cities at
the other end of the line.
The gentlemen will remain here two
or three days.
